A/N: Angst got to me! Hehehe

Missing You

How long has it been since I've last seen you? Heard from you?

In this foreign country time has passed faster than I had imagined – at first I was immersed in things that made me forget; forget all else apart from what I was doing and being. But now everything is quiet again, and my heart aches and yearns for you. I wonder - do you miss me?

Sitting in the unfamiliar taxi, I sit in silence as my companions strike up an idle chit-chat and debate the most whimsical of things. Its times like these I think of you and I question myself: do you long for me the way I do for you? Does a moment's solace carry me into your thoughts and dreams? Does every little detail and image bring me to you?

I watch the scene in front of me blur as the taxi picks up speed, and I am reminded of you and your silky hair - hair that flutters in the wind when it escapes your protective helmet. I see plants and grasses along the sidewalk and I can't help but compare their shade of green to your eyes. My own eyes flicker to the front, where I can see the bulging fingers of the driver, his popping veins and his hairy arms makes me think of your own subtle firm one – a contrast indeed.

Everything in this foreign place reminds me of you, yet nothing can or can come close to replacing you.

I ponder on why I am here, and I recall that Reito suggested this trip – for relaxation and therapy reasons – as a reward of sorts after my demanding school year. I was reluctant… but eventually I yielded, because regardless of the trip you would not be by my side. Even so the distance adds to the pain more than I had imagined.

Where are you now I wonder? Are you eating well? Are you looking after yourself? Do you, do you miss me?

Passing through the arrival gates, the wide walkway is crowded with family members and friends that await their respective loved ones (that may or may not have been on the same plane as I).

There is murmur and chatter, with the odd squeal of superficial surprise as teenage girls welcome long-missed family or friends. I spot your disgruntled self amidst the swarm, your cold demeanour having driven away bystanders; so I bid Reito and Haruka a quick farewell as we part to the parties that have arrived to take us home.

"How was your trip?" You ask quickly, taking my one and only bag from my hands before stalking briskly towards the parking lot.

"Hmm." I make an indifferent hum – unable to voice my longing and yearning for you.

"Well I'm glad you're back." You mutter discretely, grasping my hand in yours. "It felt like the longest week ever, and that had nothing to do with my exams!" The amount of people thinned, as the two of us closed on the open air car park.

I couldn't contain my smile as the sun shone down upon my girlfriend and me.

A/N: Ok my little readers, that the end of my triple-whammy updates, they would have came out faster if I hadn't been so lazy!

Thank you to Crosswood for being my beta-ing fiend! (Readers, you have no idea how lost you'd be without her corrections, so be grateful!)

Till next time!
